We created a deconstructive musical piece called RETROGRADE, conceptualized and executed by Death Grips and coded by Jacob Ciocci (Extreme Animals). It’s an infinite GIF sampler. There are 109 loops that you can start and stop at will. Depending on the number of loops you trigger and the way you time them, an infinite number of visual/audio combinations are possible.
It’s inspired by Mercury
being in retrograde right now (until April 4, 2012). The piece is an
expression of the infinite/fractal nature of every moment in time. When
creating music, we are sticking/unsticking ourselves to endless time
snakes—the idea that the smallest/tiniest of moments contains everything
in the universe—Progress/becoming UNSTUCK.
The piece itself is a musical instrument. Our real performances
are disassembled, mangled, and thrown back together in a renegade way.
We recommend the “PLAY ALL”
button. This is exactly how we create our art. It’s dirty, chaotic, and
constantly on the brink of catastrophic failure. We encourage others to
deconstruct our ideas and this piece in similar ways. We are excited
about people creating their own content out of this device. It’s not
about the machine itself but the process of exploration.
